"Unit cost £60 - £70"? Highly unlikely

[edit]

There is simply no way that the per unit cost was "£60 - £70" when the per unit cost of Lee Enfield rifles was over £8 per rifle at the time. While the Polsten was "simplified" it still required considerable machining and high quality steel alloys. Production of 20mm barrels alone would have cost more than £70. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.175.209.147 (talk) 22:12, 29 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
